.GOLF TEE.

Application filed April 6, 1926. Serial No. 100,144.

This invention relates to an improvement .in golf tee and is designed to rovide a golf tee WhlCh will at the same time serve the purpose 'of a writing implement for 8 marking the scores.

The invention is designed to utilize a short length of pencil, the upper end of which is hollowed to receive and support the golf ball, the lead'of the pencil serving as the 10 penetrating point for the-insertion of the tee in the round and the sharpening of the wood of the pencil to ex the lead providing the necessary comcal formation essential for the insertion of the tee.

II The invention is illustrated in the accom-' in section, of

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the tee reinforced.

Fig. 3 is a similar view showing a modified form of reinforce.

In carrying out the invention, a short length of pencil 1 is sharpened on aduated lines to ex ose the lead 2, the arpening being pre erablg, though not nrily, throughout the ll tion. The upper end of the pencil section is hollowed as at 3 to provide for the support of the ball. I

- In use, the conical pencil section is forced into the ground in the usual manner 0! application of artificial tees, and the ball supported in the hollow 8 for the usual driving fremiuently happens that the golfer will, be

wit

length of the pencil secfunction.- If desired, and as indicated in Fig. 2, the formed pencil section may be coated with heavy shellac as at 4, or other similar material to protect the halves of the pencil section against separation and to further protect the body of the pencil against wear. If a more positive remforce is desired, the conical pencil section may be wrapped as at 5 by cord or-wire to increase the li e of the article in use and under possible contact from the driver. The improved tee is designed to provide in a sin le'implement a convenient tee for the golfers use, and at the same time a writing implement by which the scores may be entered. It not inout adequate means to enter his score, or if provided with a pencil and also one or more Y of the artificial tees, will be handicapped b the necessity of carrying a number of di erent implements. With the present tee the writing implement is an integral part of the tee and thus through the use of the single device, the golfer has at his command, a convenient and really desirable tee and a writing im lement.

What I claim 1s:

A pencil having a wooden envelope of conical form throughout and the upper end formed with a rounded depression and a reinforce wrapping for the envelope.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

GEORGE H. EDDY.
